INSERTING THE CARRIAGE
STEP 10
ITEMS REQUIRED
Carriage
1. Unscrew and set aside the two black rubber bumpers located on the top of the head-end of each rail. (Pic 10.1)
2. Carefully slide the carriage onto the rail frame, making sure that the blue wheels slide on the top of the rails and
the black wheels below the rails. (Pic 10.2)
3. Standing at the head-end of the machine (opposite the kickplate) detach the ROM rope from the velcro located
on the carriage, and attach it to the velcro on spacer tube RH4. (Pic 10.3, see next page)
4. Working from either side of the head-end, locate the eyebolts (attached to ROM rope) and remove the aluminum
knurled knobs. Thread the eyebolts through each rails designated eyebolt hole to the outside of the machine and
secure with the knurled knobs. (Pic 10.4, see next page).
5. Pull the carriage toward the head-end of the rail frame, exposing the next two eyebolt holes at the foot-end of the
frame. (Pic 10.5)
6. Insert the two remaining eyebolts in the designated eyebolt holes of each rail and secure with knurled knobs.
7. When complete, the rebound elastic (Pic 10.5) should be attached to the back ropes with the carabiners. It is
important to make sure they are attached to the rope between the carriage and the first set of eye bolts. The
ropes should not cross but go from the carriage attachment point, through the rebound elastic and then to the
eyebolts on the side of the frame. The ROM ropes should not impede the movement of the elasticords, and the
carriage should glide easily in the rails. (Pic 10.7, see next page)
Tip: When installing the carriage, make sure to leave the ROM rope as is. Do not detach it from the underside of the
carriage, and do not remove the donut ring. This will create less confusion during installation

ATTACHING THE HEADREST
STEP 11
ITEMS REQUIRED
Headrest
1. Attach the headrest to the velcro backrest cover either with the curved shoulder supports forward, which will give the
head a slight upward support, or reverse which will allow the head to be lower. (Pic 11.1)

ASSEMBLY OF THE RECOVERY (STEP 11)

Page 16
Attaching Elasticords: Located between the Recovery rails are five to eight elasticords. They are at the head-end of the
machine with colored lanyards. To engage the elasticords grasp the middle of the lanyard (one at a time) and pull back
towards the head-end stand preferably using your body weight. Slip the exposed plastic white knob at the end of the
elasticord into at the corresponding slot at the!head-end of the carriage to engage the elasticord.
Warning!!If you grasp the lanyard too close to the!plastic white knob you risk pinching your fingers.!
Detaching Elasticords: To disengage resistance, grasp the middle of the lanyard (one at a time) and pull back towards the
head-end stand and drop it down below the carriage.
Always detach the elasticords when the machine is not in use. This prevents premature stretching of the elasticords
and greatly extends their life.
Adjusting the Headrest: The headrest is easily adjusted depending on patient size and desired exercise type. This can be
done by pulling the headrest up and away from the backrest.
The footrest is located at the end of the carriage. It provides a surface to rest an uninvolved foot.
Adjusting the ROM (Range of Motion) Control: At the head-end of the carriage is the ROM control handle. To adjust the
position of the carriage in relation to the kickplate pull the handle from the support tube velcro. When the carriage is in the
desired position,!firmly reattach the!ROM handle by wrapping!it around the velcro portion of the support tube. This
adjustment can be used to change the flexion angle of the knee without repositioning the patient/user on the carriage.
When the ROM control is engaged!it will limit the total travel of the carriage, it is important to release the ROM when the
machine is being used for Plyometric jumping.
Warning! Never attempt to move the ROM handle while the elasticords are attached or the machine is in use, as the handle
may move too quickly to control.
Adjusting the Handle Grips: The hand grips are easily adjusted by twisting the knobs counter-clock-wise and moving to
desired position. Secure by twisting clockwise.
Engaging Carriage Lock Down:
The hand grips also serve as
the carriage lock down. To
engage, loosen the handle grips
and rotate them down to
engage on the head-end lock
Down post located on either
Side of the frame. This post is
Located mid-frame. You will
want to position the hand grips
so the carriage is positioned at
the midpoint of the rails. This
will allow for a comfortable
transfer of your patient.

USING THE PRODUCT

Elasticord Maintenance
1. Lubricating elasticords is suggested every 6 months. A well maintained elasticord should last 3 to 5 years.
2. Sagging Elasticords - This can result from normal wear and tear and only needs to be replaced if you are not
receiving the resistance you require.
3. Cracked, dry, or pitted elasticords - This is a sign that your elasticords are worn-out which could result in an
elasticord breaking when in use and should be replaced immediately.
Part #1011 - Silicone Gel
Part #5209 - Set of 8 Elasticords
Lubricate Elasticords
1. Remove the carriage.
- Remove four eyebolts from inside the Recovery rails.
- Remove knee bumpers from the end of the the Recovery rails.
- Remove the carriage.
2. Lubricate elasticords located in the Recovery rails.
- Apply silicone gel to the rubber portion of the Recovery elasticords
3. Re-insert carriage into the Recovery rails.
- Gently glide the carriage onto the rails, making sure that the blue wheels sit on top of the rails and that the
black wheels go inside the rail frame.
- Re-insert four eyebolts into the inside of the MVP rails. For more help refer to Step 10 (Page 13 & 14).
- Re-insert knee bumpers to the end of the Recovery rails.
Inspect Carriage Wheels
1. Remove the carriage.
- Remove four eyebolts from inside the Recovery rails.
- Remove knee bumpers from the end of the the Recovery rails.
- Remove the carriage.
2. Flip the carriage over.
3. Visually inspect wheels for any damage (flat surfaces, damaged bearings, cracks). After visually inspecting the
wheels, test them by individually rolling them. All wheels should operate smoothly.
Inspect Rebound Elastic
As the carriage rolls to either end of the track, the rebound elastic provides a soft stop by resisting the two black
rebound ropes from separating. If the rebound elastic becomes damaged, it can easily be replaced by unclipping the
two mini carabiners from the black rebound ropes. It is important to note the placement of the rebound elastic is on
the black ropes between the attach point on the carriage and the first eye bolts.
Replacing Handles
Release Recovery handles by twisting counter-clock-wise until fully released from the frame. Make sure to keep the
spacer located inside the black puck. The spacer is not included with the purchase of a new Recovery lateral handle.
When replacing the handle, insert the spacer back into the black puck. The spacer should lay flat before twisting the
handle clockwise to secure it in place. Make sure when securing the new handle, that it doesn’t strip the threads in
the plastic black puck.
